Using just three simple ingredients, this recipe transforms thick-cut pork chops into a tender, flavorful meal that’s ideal for busy weeknights, Sunday suppers, or effortless family dinners.

Add a side of steamed green beans, buttered corn, glazed carrots, or a crisp garden salad to complete the meal. Leftovers also reheat beautifully, making this an excellent option for meal prep. With only three ingredients and a slow cooker doing all the work, this recipe proves that delicious comfort food doesn’t have to be complicated.

Ingredients

• 4 thick-cut bone-in pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
• 1 (6-ounce) box herb-seasoned stuffing mix
• 1 (10.5-ounce) can cream of chicken soup

Optional for Serving

• Fresh chopped parsley
• Cracked black pepper
• Mashed potatoes
• Steamed green beans

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Lightly spray the inside of your slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Place the pork chops in a single layer in the bottom of the slow cooker.
3. Spoon the cream of chicken soup evenly over each pork chop, covering them well.
4. Sprinkle the dry stuffing mix evenly over the soup-coated pork chops. Do not stir.
5. Cover the slow cooker with the lid.
6. Cook on LOW for 5–6 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the pork chops are tender and reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
7. During cooking, the soup will combine with the pork juices, softening the stuffing into a flavorful topping while creating a light gravy underneath.
8. Once fully cooked, carefully remove the pork chops with a wide spatula to keep the stuffing intact.
9. Spoon the stuffing and creamy gravy over each pork chop before serving.
10. Garnish with chopped parsley and freshly cracked black pepper if desired.

Tips

• Thick-cut pork chops stay juicier than thin chops during slow cooking.
• Bone-in pork chops provide even more flavor and tenderness.
• Avoid lifting the slow cooker lid during cooking, as this releases heat and increases cooking time.
• If you like a creamier texture, gently stir the soup into the cooking juices before serving.
• Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles to soak up the delicious gravy.
• Add sliced mushrooms or onions for extra flavor while still keeping the recipe simple.

Notes

• Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
• Freeze cooked pork chops and stuffing for up to 2 months.
• Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop with a splash of chicken broth if needed.
• Cream of mushroom or cream of celery soup can easily replace the cream of chicken soup for a different flavor.
• This recipe works well with boneless pork chops, though bone-in chops tend to stay more tender.

Q&A

Can I use boneless pork chops?
Yes. Boneless pork chops work well, but choose thick-cut pieces to help prevent them from drying out during slow cooking.

Do I need to prepare the stuffing mix first?
No. The dry stuffing mix goes directly into the slow cooker. It absorbs the soup and natural pork juices as it cooks, creating the perfect texture.

Can I add vegetables?
Absolutely. Carrots, potatoes, mushrooms, or sliced onions can be placed underneath the pork chops before cooking for a complete one-pot meal.

What should I serve with these stuffed pork chops?
They’re delicious with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, buttered corn, green beans, dinner rolls, or a simple side salad.
